چکیده
هدف از پژوهش حاضر، بررسی نقش انعطاف­پذیری شناختی در پیش­بینی نومیدی و تاب­آوری در دانشجویان بود. تعداد 277 نفر از دانشجویان دانشگاه شیراز که در سال تحصیلی 90-89 مشغول به تحصیل بودند با روش نمونه­گیری تصادفی خوشه­ای انتخاب شدند. آزمودنی­ها با تکمیل پرسشنامه­ی انعطاف­پذیری شناختی، مقیاس­های نومیدی بک و تاب­آوری کانر و دیویدسون در این پژوهش شرکت نمودند. برای تجزیه و تحلیل نتایج از روش­های ضریب همبستگی پیرسون، و رگرسیون چندگانه به شیوه­ی همزمان استفاده شد. نتایج پژوهش حاضر نشان داد که خرده مقیاس ادراک کنترل­پذیری توانست نمره­ی کل نومیدی و همه­ی خرده مقیاس­های آن را به طور منفی پیش­بینی کند. همچنین، خرده مقیاس ادراک گزینه­های مختلف، نمره­ی کل نومیدی و خرده مقیاس­های یأس در دستیابی به خواسته­ها و انتظار منفی نسبت به آینده را به طور منفی پیش­بینی نمود. خرده مقیاس ادراک توجیه رفتار نیز خرده مقیاس عدم اطمینان به آینده را پیش­بینی کرد. نتایج رگرسیون چندگانه همزمان در پیش­بینی تاب­آوری نشان داد که خرده مقیاس­های ادراک کنترل­پذیری و ادراک گزینه­های مختلف، تاب­آوری را پیش بینی­نمودند. از بررسی یافته­ها می­توان این­گونه نتیجه­گیری کرد که انعطاف­پذیری شناختی،توانایی پیش­بینی نومیدی و تاب­آوری را دارد. بنابراین آموزش انعطاف­پذیری شناختی از طریق درمان شناختی- رفتاری (CBT) می­تواند موجب کاهش نومیدی و افزایش تاب آوری شود.

چکیده English

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of cognitive flexibility in predicting the hopelessness and resilience among university students. 277students of Shiraz University participated in the present study via cluster sampling method during the fall semester of the 2010- 2011 academic year. The participants completed the items of Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, Beck Hopelessness Scale, and Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale. To analyze the data, the statistical methods of Pearson correlation coefficient and simultaneous multiple regression analysis were conducted. The results showed that Control subscale could negatively predict the total score of hopelessness and all of its subscales. Moreover, alternatives control subscale negatively predicted the total score of hopelessness and the hopelessness subscales of disappointment in achieving the desired and negative expectations about future. Alternatives for human Behaviors subscale predicted the hopelessness subscale of future uncertainty. Simultaneous multiple Regression analyses in predicting resilience indicated that Control and Alternatives subscales predicted the resilience. It is concluded that cognitive flexibility has the ability to predict the hopelessness and resilience. Thus, educating cognitive flexibility via cognitive- behavior therapy (CBT) can decrease hopelessness and increase the resilience among clients.
